If Kit Larson believes one thing, it’s that the cards never lie. She’s seen it proven time and time again as a tarot reader and mystic influencer. But unfortunately the cards didn’t warn her about her most recent breakup or her parents’ divorce, so when Kit is offered a gig at another influencer’s boho-chic Joshua Tree wedding she accepts for the distraction. And distract it does when she finds out her high school crush, Julia, is the wedding planner.
Julia Kelley is her agency’s most sought-after wedding planner, and for a good reason—she's a perfectionist. Control means never showing others the vulnerable, blobby mess she really is deep down inside. Having an ex-girlfriend in the bridal party is a problem, sure, but reconnecting with the beautiful tarot reader who broke her heart as a teenager is so much worse.
Kit’s cards once told her that she and Julia were Twin Flames, two halves of the same soul. With wedding events pushing them together, their spark reignites . . . and so does a chance at being lovers. (Synopsis courtesy of Amazon.)
I just finished this queer, angsty, witty, swoony rom-com and my heart is full!
Rebekah Faubion, I’m not really sure how this is a debut! Well done! The writing immediately pulled me in. I loved the characters, especially Kit and Julia, and the story made my mushy heart so happy!
Faubion painted some of the best pictures I have ever read. The descriptions of the wedding venue, Kit’s air stream, the wedding food, the characters' outfits, and so much more really made me feel like I was in the story! I now want to decorate my whole house with Kit’s aesthetic and buy an air steam and visit the desert!
Speaking of Kit, I really loved and identified with her character and Julia’s too. They are two former besties from high school that come back together after almost ten years apart. Both of them are struggling with their identity.
"Can your life really be what you want if you are denying a truth about yourself?"
The way both of them explore this question is so relatable. So many of us are hiding our truth in some way. Whether that’s through our sexual identity, our family dynamics, our jobs, or other things we hide inside and it’s clear they are bursting to come out of their cage. These characters navigate the exploration of those truths in an empowering and vulnerable way.
As a long time rom-com girly with When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, and The Holiday being at the top of my list, I have always been searching for queer love stories like these too. I loved how this story talks about there being more than just conventional love and how beautiful that is too.
“I'm beginning to see how there are a lot of ways to live that fairy tale in real life and how important it is to make those expressions of this romantic ideal just as relevant as the more conventional ones.”
This story also made me love learning about tarot and really really want to get my own tarot reading. There’s also Taylor Swift lyrics, supportive secondary characters, and a mom and mad who will make you giggle.
This story is one that I really think you will enjoy and I triple dog dare you to read it!
